Going between kindle books and physical books

Although I used to be attached to my kindle like it was an extra arm, I have been borrowing as many books on my amazon wishlist as possible from the library and so haven't been using it as much.

I'm currently trying to read on a book on it and I can't tell if its the book itself, All Is Not Forgotten - Wendy Walker, or if I'm just struggling to get into it because I've adapted back to reading physical books. I normally don't have this but was wondering if anyone else struggles going between them?

My library doesn't charge a reservation fee luckily! So making the most of that at the moment!

Back to a physical library book with Needful Things - Stephen King. Better but only problem is I can read for hours and it looks like I've gotten nowhere Grin never happy!

I know you will think I am crazy but I am really not comfortable reading books borrowed from the library. All I can think of is all the unwashed hands touching the pages!
Paranoid!!
My kindle on the other hand just belongs to me, I read about three books a week and I love it. I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited and some books can then be read for free but I still pay for my favourite authors.

I bought the Amazon Fire last week as I'm seriously running out of space to store my books and thought it would save me money. However most of the books I'm desperate to read are cheaper to buy in paperback!

I read a free copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray at the start of the week and it was awful to read due to the formatting.

I used to reserve books at my local library but that was costing me £1 a book.

I've just got to face facts; I need hubby to buy us a bigger house to store all of my books!
